Have I told you about the scent of jasmine? Have I spoken about the smell of the sea? The earth is scented. And I perfume myself to enhance what I am. That's why I can not wear a perfume that bothers me. Perfuming is an instinctive wisdom. And like all art, it requires some knowledge of yourself..."

Re: SotD Wednesday 19 May

I'm wearing Anarchy, Long Lost Perfume's version of Donna Karan Chaos. It's been years since I smelled the original so can't reliably compare the two but Anarchy's warm blend of dry spices, woods and incense is working beautifully on this chilly, damp day.

Take care, all!

Re: SotD Wednesday 19 May

Hello everyone!

You all smell exceptionally gorgeous today! It's another cool morning here, so I'm in another cool weather favorite, the luxurious L'Or de Torrente ...which completely reminds me of Twolf now....actually, I don't think I have many fragrances that don't remind me of one or another of you anymore! (And to answer your question Wolfie, I was indeed previously aware of M. Pierre Balmain's birthday yesterday, but it had completely gone out of my mind when reaching for and posting about Vent Vert ....at least I thought it had, but I suppose a little green bird must have reminded
me to wear it!)

Re: SotD Wednesday 19 May

Another steamy day... this will be our situation until October! I'm wearing Apercu. Another lovely blind buy. Sadly it is short lived on me, but it's great for an "at home" scent, I can spritz away all day...
Of the light florals I'm smelling mostly the rose, over a very tart chypre.
